Ahahaha, yes. I find certain things put me off recipes. For instance, if you have to melt chocolate in a bowl sitting on top of another bowl full of hot water and then let it harden but not too much, etc. NO. I do not have time. To be fair, this is another factor I forgot to mention in my post. I don't enjoy spending three hours making something only to watch it get hoovered up in five minutes. It's not a good return on investment, time-wise!
OTOH, I've discovered that making bread products is remarkably easy. It looks like it takes forever but it's actually "do two minutes of mixing/pummeling, then put aside and wait several hours, pummel again, turn on oven, bake". If you make stuff that doesn't need yeast, it's even faster.
